CHAPTER I.
A DELICATE MISSION.
On the 22d of September I was asked by the World if I could have myself committed to one of the asylums for the insane in Kew York, with a view to writing a plain and unvarnished narrative of the treatment of the patients therein and the methods of management, etc. Did I think I had the courage to go through such an ordeal as the mission would demand?
